The router is said to support WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac/be and offer MIMO support. For the 2.4 GHz band, the maximum possible data transfer rate is specified as 688 Mbit/s, while for the 5 GHz band, it is specified as 2.882 Mbit/s. As always, these are only theoretical values and are usually difficult to achieve in practice. A single Ethernet port with data transfer speeds of up to 2.5 GBit/s is installed, and other adaptive ports can also manage Gigabit speeds. This means that link aggregation may be possible.
Equipped with a Qualcomm SoC equipped with four 1.1GHz processing cores. Internal storage capacity is 256 MB. The four antennas also support beamforming, ensuring strong connection stability and network coverage. If this is not enough, you can combine up to 10 Xiaomi WiFi routers to form a mesh network. It is said that up to 128 clients can connect simultaneously. Configuration of the router is done not only through the app, but also through the web interface.

I’ve been a journalist for over 10 years, mostly in the technology field. I’ve worked at Tom’s Hardware, ComputerBase, and have been with Notebookcheck since 2017. Currently, we are particularly focused on single-board computers such as mini PCs and Raspberry Pi. In other words, it is a compact system with many features. potential. Additionally, I’m interested in all kinds of wearables, especially smartwatches. My day job is as a laboratory technician, so both the scientific background and the interpretation of complex measurements are foreign to me.
Growing up in regional Australia, I first discovered computers in my early teens after breaking my leg in a football (soccer) game, forcing me to temporarily live an indoor-based lifestyle. Soon after, I built my own system. I immigrated in 2014 and currently live in Germany, where I study philosophy and anthropology. I am particularly interested in how computer technology has fundamentally and dramatically changed human culture, and how it continues to do so.
